So.. I ada an annoying sister. Okay. Tak adalah annoyed sangat. Sister always being sisters kan?

Cik Esah (the one and only sister), was born after my four brothers. Imagine, four boys in a row and no girls to buy fancy dresses, my mak must be so tabah! I bet my abangs semua pakat angkut toys bila masuk toilet nak mandi. Itu belum lagi duduk tepi rumah diam-diam, lepas tu angkut tools abah and godek basikal. Katanya, repair. Itu Abang Isa. Haha. Lepas tu berjangkit ke Nabil (Abang Isa's youngest child). Yang tu lagilah, diam-diam repair dalam stor with tools box.

Yeeee!

Cik Tam tu den. Mencikk tau. Cik Esah kata I itam. So, I balas balik kata dia gemuk. Hahaha. Selalu bila teman mak and the gang mandi pantai, nanti Cik Esah show off peha putih. Elehh. Macam la putih sangat. Dalam air semua benda jadi lebih putih = p

Seingat I la kan, dulu-dulu, masa I kindie, like 5-6 years old gitu, and masa masuk Tengku Mahmud's pun, Cik Esah used to be so nice to me. Maybe because am the youngest one. Tapi makin lama, makcik tu makin annoying. Haha. Dulu, masa birthday, cant remember the exact age, must be 6 years old la kot, it was my birthday. Cik Esah bought me present! (kitaorg, adik-beradik, yg dpt hadiah birthday from siblings, I je kot, yang lain tak ada, kahwin pun mana ada kitaorg kasi hadiah kat adik-beradik sendiri, kira, balik rumah time kenduri pun dah kira hadiah, hahaha). It was a colour pencils and a colouring book. Suka! Masa tu Cik Esah letak my presents atas kerusi plastik. Ala, kerusi plastik budak-budak tu yang kat lapik duduk tu ada sticker kartun. Korang tak ada? Rugi. Rugi.

Lepas tu, masa I masuk Tengku Mahmud's, Cik Esah bought me a pinball pencil case. Depan tu boleh main pinball. Masuk-masuk, macam game kat windows tu. Hee. Tiba first day, berlagak je dengan budak-budak satu meja. Cewahh! Kecil-kecil dah macam tu lepas tu keep wondering anak teruna ikut perangai siapa = p

I ingat lagi, masa tu my mak and my abah went for Haji. So, Cik Esah and me at home. Bulan puasa and masa tu, gua mana puasa-puasa lagi ni. I bet tu masa I was 6. Sebab Darjah 1, I puasa penuh yo! Tak main ah training puasa ni, terus puasa sebulan. Hebat? Hebat? Hee.. Budak-budak sekarang, umur 5 tahun pun dah cemerlang puasa penuh. Pedulikan. Ini gua punya cerita. He..

So, bila mak abah tak ada, masa tu Cik Esah tak ada lesen lagi. So, pagi tu, Cik Esah ajak I naik bas depan rumah, warna purple, (hampehh tau makcik ni, ada ke ajak I naik bas, apa baranggg), masa tu bawa ayam seekor, pergi rumah Abang Mid (my cousin). Sampai sana, wifey Abang Mid, Kak Yah cooked the chicken for us. Ayam masak merah. Fuh. Fuh. Makan dengan nasi putih. Masa lunch hour. Di bulan puasa! Hahaha. Hampeh je tau. Tapi I tak tanya la pula time tu. Few years later baru pelik kenapalah Cik Esah and Kak Yah makan nasi tengah hari buta tuu, bulan puasa? Gua tak apa. Gua budak innocent. He..

Time tu dah lah Cik Esah belum ada lesen kereta. And masak ayam masak merah pun tak lepas. Ces. Lepas tu mengata I cakap tak pandai masak. Tambah dengan berlagak kata dia buat semua terror ah. Pandai semua. Tapi I still ingat Cik Esah first attempt in making the kuih raya. Jadi kuih raya 'Telaga Buta'. Hahaha! Padan muka. If ada gambar, nak je I upload sini. Hahaha. You see, I didnt know what kuih raya she's trying to do, yang I tau, while she's baking, I ambil sikit doh tu, uli-uli, lepas tu simpan dalam freezer and Cik Esah bake her cookies in the oven. Turns out 'kuih raya' I tu memang dalam peti la kan, keras kejung, siap my mak cakap, 'Haaa, makanlah kuih tu', tak tau ke gua experiment ni, tapiii, kuih raya Cik Esah, keluar oven je terus tenggelam! In your face = p

Adalah dalam sebalang. Tak laku pun masa raya tu tapi everyone kept asking where's Cik Esah's kuih raya. Yang makan kuih tu, Abang Mid. Abang Mid cakap sedap. And half of it habis. He ate them alone. Ewwww. Rupa je pun dah tak cantik, apatah lagi rasaaa!

Lepas tu time I baked, Cik Esah always said..

: Tam, pandai ke mu buat? Pandai ke?

Nada sindir, muka, semua complete package ah!

Cik Esah ada ex-Beseri. Bila pergi melawat Cik Esah, I rasa tu laaah tempat paling jauh. It was damn bored journey. Tapi Cik Esah dulu everytime balik Beseri, mesti naik flight. Huh. Show off. Sebab tu bila I masuk Gerik, Cik Esah memang budget Beseri tu lahh paling best, walhal tak sedar, sama je dengan Gerik! And Cik Esah always asking me..

: Tamm, mung nak balik Gerik ke?

: Yo la.

: Naik gapo?

: Abah antar ah.

: Eii.. Aku dulu kan, naik flight. Dok main ah naik kereta, bus ni.

Ces!

Statement berlagak No 1!

Dulu beli pergi Perlis, mesti my mak pergi border. Dah la panas Bosan je. Tapi bilik Cik Esah best. And her friends called her 'Illie', blueekkk!. I rasa sekali je kot kitaorg pergi melawat Cik Esah kat sana. Ke dua kali. Dua kali kot. Entah. Lupa. Sekali time tu, hantar Cik Esah ke Beseri and hantar Pok Mat (my 6th brother) to Pasir Tumboh. Lagi sekali masa Cik Esah grad. And lagi sekali lagi kot time I rembat anak patung itik atas katil Cik Esah. I was crying to get that! And my mak make Cik Esah gave them to me. Haha! Ehh. Time tu I baik lagi sehh dengan Cik Esah. So, bila pergi visited, I rasa macam sedih as Cik Esah cant follow us home and I want the duck to replace her. Tapi sekaranggg, padan muka dia kat ulu tu. Duduk sana lama-lama pun tak apa. Hahaha!

Lepas tu, I went to boarding school and we're not friends anymore. Memang ah bukan kawan, sisters, tapi gua dah tak close. Asyik nak gaduh je. Pasal sits dalam kereta pun boleh cari gaduh. Lepas tu Cik Esah kahwin. I was at Gerik at that time. Kad kahwin dia havoc. Ces. Benci. Dah la bakal abang ipar tak handsome. Lagi handsome mamat yang datang rumah masa raya, masa tu mak abah tak ada, lepas tu kantoi mak abah tau, Pok Mat bagitau, lepas tu mak abah 'nasihat', lepas tu Cik Esah menangis, hahaha, padan muka! Still, I dont like my abang ipar. My sister deserved better. Cewaahh! Sebab tu ada drama masa reception at my brother-in-law house. My mak abah wont send me back to Gerik, my mak didnt pack my things, tak lipat baju I, didnt iron my uniforms, and refused to send me to Gerik as been busy with Cik Esah's wedding and they didnt even visit me at Gerik for 2 months, and during the reception, gua melalak sepenuh hati. Hahaha. Who cares! Am the youngest one and am deserved everything I want. Nasib baik mak abah tabah je. And as the result, my abangs send me off to Gerik. Beramai-ramai yo!

Lepas tu Cik Esah gugur, which I didnt knew about it, and lepas tu dapat Humaira (Pon) and Nadia (Bop), which lepas tu barulah I baik sikit dengan Cik Esah.

Tapi sebelum Cik Esah bersalinkan Pon, gua memang anti sungguh la dengan Cik Esah. Kejap baik kejap gaduh. Tapi gaduh memang panjang ah. Tarik rambut? Itu biasa. Tendang-menendang? Lagi biasaaaa! I almost wanna give Cik Esah free kick tapi I was thinking, masa tu Cik Esah tengah mengandungkan Pon. So, tak sampai hati. See. Dalam gaduh-gaduh, sempat fikir okay. Baik tak baik I neh. Tapi lepas tu I tarik rambut dia. Gaduh kat dapur. Sebab Cik Esah cakap I pemalas. Malas nak basuh all the dirty dishes. Masa tu raya. Walhal time tu gua berhenti sekejap nak ambil gelas kotor atas meja. Itu memang cari nahas sungguh. Oleh itu, mari kita tarik rambut kat dapur!

I bet my mak mesti pening kepala. Hahaha. Sorry mak! Tapi Cik Esah tu haa, overrated!

I masuk Jasin, Cik Esah bersalinkan Humaira (Pon), and one fine day, masa tu Pon dah tergolek-golek, datang Jasin. Bawa nasi minyak and stuff to feed my friends and me tapi gua demam. Ending up balik rumah Cik Esah. Masa tu, my mak, Pok Mat, Cik Esah and Pon datang.

Masa tulahh I baru baik sikit dengan Cik Esah. Gua macam dah malas nak argue with her. Baik gua layan budak gemuk suka minum susu tu.

And I think, now, on off gitulah. Walhal masa almost due dulu, I memang merajuk, sakit hati, tapi never tell anyone, including my husband. Iwas soo sakit hati with Cik Esah back then. Dah laa gua nak bersalin dah ni. Tapi I didnt tell anyone. My sayang knew about that pun dalam tahun ni. Haa.. Lama kan? Well, dragon donttell secrets much. They tend to keep it low.

Bila bersalin, it's a boy, and Cik Esah's daughters jadi nannies the kecik. The two girls went gaga over the kecik. Handsome. Nak buat macam mana = D

And now, Cik Esah will be having another one, soon. A boy, perhaps.

Despite we're always like the cat and the dog, still, she's my sister. Even selalu bbising je mulut dia, I rasa macam nak tape and ikat kat kerusi je, she's my sister. Still, she's always be the annoying Cik Esah. He.

Even still, am hoping and praying Cik Esah will be safe. Selamat the mother and the baby. And hopefully baby Cik Esah 4kg. Haha.

No lah. If she's gone, I've no sister left. And that's sad. Coz I dont have anyone to tarik rambut fight anymore! And no one to boo at bila nampak angsa! Hahaha.

Have a safe delivery, Ang!

Dont be cranky and grumpy much, nanti kenan dekat baby. It wont hurt if you be nice to me. Hehe.
And nanti pump susu banyak, bagi kat baby, jangan nak mengada campur susu formula, minum lobak putih banyak-banyak, campur dengan oren dok pun green apple. Letak ah gula sikit. Mu kan penakut No 1.

p/s Ang is the other name for Cik Esah

p/s/s  my nickname Cik Tam safe with me during Gerik time until one day, Cik Esah popped up infront of my room and said, ' Tamm! Mung tak dengar ke announcement. Lama dah tunggu neh'.  Lepas tu gelak-gelak. Shouting sampai satu wing dengar. Bagus sungguh ada kakak macam ni. Pfffftt.
